United States Patent C) 3,341,520 CERTAIN PYRIDOBENZOTHIADIAZEPINE DERIVATIVES Heinz Arthur Pfenninger, Ossiuing, N.Y., assiguor to Geigy Chemical Corporation, Greeuburgh, N.Y., a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Filed June 23, 1965, Ser. No. 466,412 37 Claims. (Cl. 260239.3)

This application is a continuationin-part of my copending application, S.N. 340,542, filed Jan. 27, 1964, now abandoned.

This invention relates to new and useful pyridobenzothiadiazepine compounds and particularly to 6,6,l2-trioxo- 1,2,3,11,l2,12a-hexahydro 4H pyrido[l,2-b]-1,2,5-benzothiadiazepines, which possess valuable pharmacological properties and are useful as pharmaceutical agents. The present invention pertains further to methods for producing such compounds and to novel intermediates useful in the preparation of such compounds.

More particularly, the compounds of one aspect of this invention may be represented by the following structural formula:

so2 R2 (I) wherein R and R each stand for hydrogen, halogen (particularly chlorine and bromine), trifluoromethyl, nitro, amino, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or methylenedioxy.

The term lower alkyl as used herein per se and as included in the term lower alkoxy means saturated monovalent aliphatic radicals of the general formula C H wherein m designates an integer of less than siX and is inclusive of both straight-chain and branchedchain radicals, such as, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tertiary, butyl, n-amyl, etc.

The compounds of Formula I are produced by reacting lower alkylpipecolinates and appropriately substituted o-nitrobenzene sulfonylhalides in such inert solvents as methylene chloride, benzene, toluene, Xylene, etc., in the presence of base. The base can be provided either by using an excess of lower alkylpipecolinate or by adding such bases as tri(lower)alkylamine (particularly triethylamine), pyridine, di(lower)alkylaniline, etc. The lower alkyl N-[o-nitrobenzenesulfonyl]pipecolinates thus obtained can be conveniently reduced with hydrogen in the presence of Raney nickel or platinum on carbon at atmospheric pressure and room temperature to yield the corresponding lower alkyl N-[o-aminobenzenesulfonyl]pipecolinates as intermediates. The intermediate lower alkyl N-[o-aminobenzenesulfonyl]pipecolinates can be saponified to the corresponding free acids and the latter closed to the desired pyridobenzothiadiazepine ring system by treating them with thionyl chloride or phosphorus trichloride, or phosphorus pentachloride in such solvents as chloroform, methylene chloride, etc., at reflux temperature.

This synthesis may be graphically illustrated by the following equations:

Alternatively, the intermediate lower alkyl N-[o-aminobenzenesulfonyl]pipecolinates may also be cyclized directly to the pyridobenzothiadiazepine system by reacting the former with strong bases, such as butyl lithium, sodium hydride, etc., in inert solvents, such as, 'benzene, toluene, hexane, et i Lower alkylpipecolinates and substituted o-nitrobenzenesulfonylhalides employed as starting materials in the above described synthesis are either commercially available or are obtainable from available chemicals in accordance with preparative methods in the prior art.

In another aspect, this invention concerns compounds which may be represented by the following structural formula:

R2 II wherein R and R each represent hydrogen, halogen (particularly chlorine and bromine), trifluoromethyl, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or methylenedioxy, amino and nitro.

Compounds of Formula II can usually be produced by reducing compounds of Formula I, dissolved in an appropriate solvent, such as, tetrahydrofuran, etc., in the presence of lithium aluminum hydride.

In addition the reduction may be effected by the use of sodium borohydride and aluminum chloride.

A further method of reducing the compounds of Formula I to the compounds of Formula II, and which is the preferred method, is to carry out the reduction with diborane in tetrahydrofuran or the like.

Another way of obtaining the compounds of Formula II from the compounds of Formula I is to form the thioamide by treatment with phosphorus pentasulfide and pyridine, and thereafter to desulfurize with R-aney nickel to yield the compounds of Formula II.

As mentioned above, the subject compounds, that is, compounds of Formulae I and II, possess valuable pharmacological properties; they can be characterized as diuretic and hypotensive agents.

Merely by way of illustration, 9 trifluoromethyl-6, 6,12 trioxo l,2,3,11,12,12a hexahydro(4I-I)pyrido[1, 2-b]-l,2,5 benzothiadiazepine exhibited diuretic activity in the mouse at a dose of 250 mg./kg. p.o. and at a dose of 300 mg./kg. in the cat when administering the compound into the gut.

Hypertensive effects were noted when an i.v. dose of 3 mg./kg. 8,9 dimethoxy-6,6,12-trioxo 1,2,3,11,12,12ahexahydro 4H pyrido [1,2-b]-[1,2,5] benzothiadiazepine was administered to anesthetized cats.

A hypotensive reaction was observed when an i.v. dose of 3 mg./kg. of 9-methoxy 6,6,12-trioxo-1,2,3,11,12,12ahexahydro 4H pyrido [1,2,-b]-[1,2,5]-benzothiadiazepine was administered to anesthetized cats.

The compounds of both aspects of this invention, as well as intermediates therefor, together with the modes of synthesis, may be more fully illustrated by the following examples. The scope of the invention is, however, not limited thereto.

In these examples, the following nomenclature is used:
